In this morning’s post: #Dorset Natural History & Archaeological Society Magazine, no. 5 (winter 2022) - including an article on the 13th century #MortarWreck discovered in #StudlandBay #Dorset. The #clinker-built #ship was constructed from Irish timber (felled 1242-1262) and was carrying #Purbeck #GraveSlabs, building rubble, and mortars, as well as the what appears to be the crew’s cooking pots. #MaritimeHistory #Wrecks #MedievalShips #MaritimeTrade #DNHAS
